This song is about coming out of the worst place into the sunshine again, and a reminder especially when the current situation feels dire and impossible to come back from, that this too will pass if you just keep going. I wrote it when struggling with feelings of meaninglessness and futility; about...
[Verse 1]
I fell in love with everyone at the party
Did I tell you that I think you should cut your hair
I really wish that I had paid attention
I can't help it, I don't care
But I guess you're feeling better now you're starting to smoke
Show up a little later than I wanted and open up
I didn't know you could read my sign
I'm an alligator with Disney rising
[Chorus]
And I make it all up
Sometimes I got powers
‘Cause you bring me good luck
You bring me batflowers
I'm gonna mess it all up
Fall asleep in the shower
I wanna bring you good luck
I wanna bring you batflowers
[Verse 2]
For your bad mood, when you're psycho
It's like I never really know where you might go
I want to burn your candle, find your angle
And read all your bad poetry
I thought that I was living in the tower or song
I thought I was singing, I was wrong
I didn't know you could read my mind
I'm an alligator with diamond eyes
[Chorus]
And I make it all up
Sometimes I got powers
‘Cause you bring me good luck
You bring me batflowers
I'm gonna mess it all up
Fall asleep in the shower
I wanna bring you good luck
I wanna bring you batflowers
[Bridge]
For the hours you were up all night
Batflowers for the times that you fucked it up
Flowers for the years you worked so hard
Flowers for the tears when you broke your own heart
Flowers for the dreams that you set aside
Batflowers for the dreams that you're following right now
And for the times you left without knowing
I wanna bring flowers so you keep on going
[Outro]
So keep going
Keep going
Keep going
